    I've heard TGN's boar knots are supplied by Omega.

    I have one boar and two badger knits coming right now from TGN. I have no experience to compare but will post when I get them.

    I am with Mustache on this one, although if you wait a few minutes someone will supply with the answer.:)
    Where knots come from and quality is up in the air for me. If you email www.whippeddog.com he may answer your question.

    You could also just get one of the cheap-handled Omega brushes and harvest the knot.
